Charles P. Taft II – better known to generations of Cincinnati voters as "Charlie" – is a Cincinnati politician I never knew; he passed away in 1983, the year after I arrived in Cincinnati as an Enquirer reporter. I was one of two Enquirer reporters assigned to write his obituary. Nonetheless, he is one of my favorite Cincinnati politicians of all time – mainly because we shared a passion for the Cincinnati Reds. And fishing, too. Charlie Taft loved fishing. He used to be seen driving his car around town with a canoe strapped to the top. On the back of his tombstone at Spring Grove Cemetery is the image of a man with a fishing pole and the inscription Gone Fishing. A love of fishing and a passion for the Reds binds CharlieCharlie Taft: City Hall Legend And Reds Fan For The Ageshttp://wvxu.org/post/charlie-taft-city-hall-legend-and-reds-fan-ages
